4:15 am

hi ruby, just wandered in, rough day? (((hugs)))

4:16 am

Hi Ruby - what's with the troglodyte wish?

4:24 am

maybe she's already closed up the cave, lol! :\

4:26 am

4:44 am

It's a rare commodity around here sometimes : )

4:45 am

*Sends up a flare for Ruby*

4:54 am

allo allo mes enfants... Hello Babble friends :) Wazzup, ruby?

4:55 am

allo, ma petite sprite! :-)

4:55 am

ruby has problems with B, i think....me, well this PC is about to learn how to swim.

4:56 am

* 547893012=23489547834676712* thing is running crazy.

4:56 am

practising my french, grin. Aw, poor ruby. Well, in a little over a week B will have somebody else to sharpen his teeth on :)

4:56 am

*hugs une and rose and ruby*

4:57 am

are you heading to Rubyville??

4:57 am

poor rose! Tell the stupid thing to behave... NOW!

4:58 am

yes Une, on the 19th.

4:58 am

oohhh, what fun!!

4:58 am

looking forward to it! The tickets for the trains arrived yesterday, that makes it so real :D

4:59 am

yes she is, une, lucky person she is,,,but the first hug for ruby is from me, right, sprite?

4:59 am

ok rose :) And all the others are from myself, grinnnn. Oh I really wish you could be there too.

4:59 am

can't wait for the spritey/ruby pix and vacay blog!

5:00 am

I promise I will bring my camera. Pics on Flickr once I get back home :D

5:00 am

excellent!! :-)

5:03 am

100 words and taking a break *poof*

5:03 am

see you later maybe :)

5:06 am

darn, Terra is a phantom today. he doesn't know that himself though.

5:07 am

gm

5:07 am

good morning kje!

5:16 am

finally, fireworks...despite this STUPID PC. and yes sprite, i wish i could be there also. never mind, when we come over, i promise to send you the tickets to come on over....what a babble meet that will be.

5:17 am

would LOVE to see you. In spirit you will be with us! And wtg on the fireworks.

5:17 am

woohoo granny!!!

5:18 am

thanx dear one. and ruby, wherever you are, hugs, kisses and love coming your way

5:18 am

oh, spritey? it's 2 weeks on monday.

5:19 am

counting down, hun. It is gonna be ok. *hugs*

5:21 am

good point? my little bro' ( well not so little) is in my hospital at the mo'. he explained that all the ISP addresses are being taken up by the construction workers....sooo i either login really early, or wait until really late before i try to login via the hospital wifi. either way, i will still be able to babble etc.

5:21 am

oh that is great! That will give you some distraction. And us the change to cuddle and hug you :)

5:21 am

elective surgery, granny?

5:23 am

you could cal it that, kje. my right knee is minus any form of cartilege. i need a total knee replacement. try explaining that to workcover....they just don't want to hear.

5:23 am

what is workcover?

5:24 am

after the rehab, you'll be glad you did it... knee replacements can change your life

5:24 am

* grin * spritey....will probably need lots of hugs the first few days. but you know me. plan on being up and walking day 1

5:25 am

that's the spirit granny!

5:25 am

you should. I heard the people doing best with knee replacements are the ones who start walking right away. We will cheer you on ;)

5:25 am

workcover is an instituttion whoch covers workers costs if they are injured whilst at work. ie, surgery, hospitilisation, physio etc

5:26 am

and you wore down your knee at work... so they should pay up?

5:28 am

and i found out something incredible. the shapematch prosthesis from sryker( company who makes prostheis) will also provide a new cover for my own patella, so i will have all the components as in my original knee

5:29 am

oh rose that is amazing!

5:29 am

spritey, extremely hard to prove, given my age. * sigh* there is also the aspect of my favouring my LE4 ankle af5 surgery, by putting more strain on my right knee. the insurance people don't want to hear it.

5:30 am

so unfair. But common. They don't like to part with their money.

5:31 am

i could go to court, i guess....but the whole thing seems very daunting

5:32 am

do you have to prove it was due to work to get insurance to pay? joint replacements are pretty common here under insurance and/or medicare

5:32 am

going to court is so very expensive, both in money and in energy. And if you feel you cannot really proof your case... I can believe it is daunting.

5:32 am

prove*

5:34 am

we do have lawyers he4 who say no payout, no cost....*shrug* maybe later down the track.

5:34 am

yeah, when you can spare the energy. Put yourself first. As kje says, you will be so glad you did all this when you can walk without pain.

5:35 am

or even with less pain, it would be an improvement

5:35 am

fireflies. What a fun grid!

5:35 am

I think there would be very few jobs one could prove OA was due to their job... maybe professional sports... but otherwise, would seem almost impossible

5:35 am

wooohooo sprite!!!

5:36 am

kje, we are speaking about a separate insurance to private health insurance...which fortunately we do have. and as the technique is so new, stryker are picking up the bill for the prosthesis.

5:36 am

lower center lone e?

5:36 am

WTG SPRITE!!!!!

5:37 am

can't you ask someone el4?

5:37 am

don't you do that oe el4 i willtell you off

5:37 am

damn

5:37 am

I hate those fish slaps

5:37 am

lolllll

5:37 am

stinky

5:37 am

*or*

5:37 am

*hits kje over the head with a tiny guppy*

5:37 am

kje, we only use the freshest of fish, don't we, sprite?

5:38 am

always. I catch it the moment you act fishslapworthy.

5:38 am

fishslapworthy - love it

5:38 am

there is this aquarium next to me that is called the Babble Bowl...

5:39 am

my dears, starting to fade, have been awake since 3am and it is now af5 8:30pm. love, hugs, kisses, see you at the flip

5:39 am

I hope you sleep well, rose. *hugs*

5:39 am

we were talking about "tethers" the other day with my trainess, and getting rid of them (lines, catheters, telemetry, etc - things that tie people down and prevent them from ambulating)

5:40 am

sounds good. I remember walking with my drip on a tripod on wheels.

5:40 am

and later the resident would tell people to stop accesorizing the patient - cracked me up

5:40 am

lollllll cool!

5:40 am

"my patient came highly accesorized from the ED"

5:41 am

must be off, bye kje *hugs* And bye all 'lurkers'.

5:41 am

I told her I was stealing it

5:41 am

it could become a fashion ;)

5:41 am

hagd sprite!

5:41 am

kje, me in 2 weeks time...have to have 48 hours monitoring for unstable angina p[ost-op. this could be very interesting

5:41 am

later, dear sprite

5:42 am

most important thing in the hospital... MOVE... and don't let them give you stupid meds

5:43 am

good side, i get to pick my surgeon, his assistant, anaesthetist and the scrub team i want. just waitgle* seeing aster to pick my PACU nurse. * giggle* seeing as i won't be there. (well not in my usual role)

5:44 am

nice, granny

5:44 am

*waiting to see roster*

5:46 am

really have to say goodnight from me. kje, have a good one!

5:46 am

best, granny!

fireworks xx

5:50 am

5:53 am

so far.. down to 20 and slowing!

6:06 am

hello

6:06 am

hi ruby!

6:06 am

as usual, I'm here at an odd time

6:06 am

((Ruby)) Having a tough morning?

6:06 am

got 35 words (!!) before lunch

6:07 am

go ruby!

6:07 am

it is horrible, waiting for deliveries/pickups when they say "between 9AM and 7PM

6:07 am

finally said, sc*** it, and went out to lunch

6:07 am

indeed, ruby

6:07 am

both yesterday and today

6:07 am

and it is raining again.

6:08 am

OK, I'm finished with my perpetual whine. How is everybody?

6:08 am

What are you waiting for?

6:09 am

raining men?

6:09 am

hallelujah!

6:11 am

yesterday, it was ppicking up husband's ship's clock for repair in the US which will cost more than original price

6:11 am

stuck

6:11 am

Today, I am waiting for the "cistern" our of which I will make a mosaic garden bench

6:11 am

out*

6:11 am

I am worn out

6:12 am

Oh, a mosaic garden bench sounds really pretty.

6:12 am

naptime?

6:13 am

I've been saving pieces of broken blue and white chine and pottery for more than 15 years. Thinking of 'Gaudiesque" bench

6:13 am

it will be in the bottom garden, unseen by anyone but me, but it's a dream project

6:13 am

china*

6:13 am

post pics when done, ruby

6:14 am

and would be much better than having to sit on the ground

6:14 am

I hope you can wait a year or so, kje, I'm not sure where I'll start LOL

6:14 am

It sounds like it's going to be lovely, Ruby. I love to hear about people pursuing a dream project.

6:14 am

maybe I can see it in person in a year

6:15 am

I've been thinking about this, if you can believe it, since 1967!!!

6:15 am

and, by then, you'll be able to sit on it!

6:16 am

Just goes to show that if you keep thinking about and believing in a dream, it comes true. It's the Law Of Attraction.

6:16 am

nice idea, molly

6:17 am

but then, on the other hand, "be careful what you wish for (dream of)"

6:18 am

FW!

6:18 am

yay, kje!!!!

6:19 am

fun grid

6:19 am

mostly normal words

6:26 am

any clues needed before I go?

6:28 am

ups guy, AGAIN, trying to get paperwork sorted out

6:29 am

this was still about husband's ship's clock!!!!

6:30 am

*Hands Ruby a soothing cup of chamomile tea*

6:32 am

6:36 am

6:37 am

6:49 am

6:50 am

6:50 am

Thanks lb, glad to hear it

6:54 am

that's what it looked like!

7:05 am

good morning babblers

7:06 am

ruby, are you still here?

7:09 am

I guess I missed her (sigh)

7:11 am

Hey Annie

7:11 am

Hi Molly, the grid looks friendly

7:12 am

good morning everyone

7:12 am

(((Mom))) good morning

7:12 am

Morning Mom

7:12 am

(((Annie and Molly))) good morning

7:13 am

we are Annie sitting this weekend so the kids can go camping. I can't wait

7:13 am

Mom, you are so good to your granddoggie. : )

7:14 am

so you are having Annie this weekend..Ziggy and Annie are friends?

7:14 am

I don't get to see her as much since Shay took a job in Cincinnati so I treasure the time with her

7:15 am

friends, eh? but they do stay in the same room now. Ziggy doesn't take to the basement any more

7:15 am

that's a step forward

7:15 am

I'll tell him in the morning that she is coming for the weekend.

7:16 am

Last time I told him she was coming he went to the front door and waited for her

7:16 am

Good day to all.

7:16 am

lol

7:16 am

Scrabbs, Hi..I love the book

7:16 am

good morning Scrabbler

7:16 am

Me too, Annie. I have 35 pages to go and I am expecting a twist.

7:17 am

uhoh

7:17 am

Annie, as a New York City native it must be very interesting for you.

7:17 am

what are the two of you reading?

7:17 am

"The Murder of the Century" by Paul Collins--historical fiction based on true murder in NYC in 1897.

7:18 am

sounds interesting

7:18 am

scrabbs, I am familiar with 11th Street..My parents lived on Avenue D when I was born so it is fun to read

7:18 am

Many themes--crime, forensics, NYPD, immigrants, NYC, and newspaper competition

7:19 am

It is hard to imagine the boroughs as farmland.

7:19 am

I have written the title down to see if our library carries it, it not I am sure Cincinnati does

7:20 am

I am going to Pennsylvania tomorrow for 5 days of hiking and kayaking!

7:20 am

I didnt know that Pulitzer and Hearst were such fierce competitors. Yes, I remember my father in law telling me that the Bronx was farmlands when he was a boy. That would be in the early 1900's.

7:20 am

that sounds like a great time, Scrabbler. Be careful and have fun

7:21 am

Scrabbs, have a great 5 days.

7:22 am

We will be at Pine Creek Gorge--the "Grand Canyon" of the east. After hiking down into the real Grand Canyon a year ago I suspect this will seem tiny.

7:22 am

as Mom said, be careful, scrabbs

7:23 am

Are you camping out also?

7:23 am

I just checked, we have the book, all copies are checked out. I will request a copy

7:23 am

Yes, my mother told me the same thing and "I cannot wait til you are back."

7:24 am

We are staying at a bed & breakfast that is a sheep farm up on a mountain!

7:24 am

That sounds wonderful!!

7:25 am

it does indeed

7:25 am

Corriedale sheep. I can't wait to meet the herd.

7:25 am

Can I come?? I will stay at the B &B and read. You can hike and kayak. I will tend the sheep.

7:26 am

our craft group would be jealous. A sheep farm.... they would love that

7:26 am

just reading what I posted made me laugh.

7:26 am

Mom, doesnt it sound wonderful?

7:26 am

<---- imagines Annie tending the sheep

7:27 am

Sure, join us!

7:27 am

Just call me Bo.

7:27 am

Well, Miss Peep, I will take pics for you to see.

7:27 am

oh it does. We have wool festivals here where people come to sell their shearings (sp) it gets a huge draw

7:28 am

Scrabbs, looking forward to seeing the pictures.

7:30 am

I have a lot of work today to get the bunnies ready and me. A high school senior up the street will take care of my babies. I ma having bad separation anxiety already.

7:31 am

they are like your children. It is hard to leave thelm

7:31 am

them*

7:32 am

the bunnies will be fine.

7:34 am

I know their behaviors so I know if they are doing ok.

7:35 am

Has the senior taken care of the bunnies before?

7:39 am

I had better scoot and start my day. (((Hugs))) to all of you

7:39 am

Annie, sweetie goes back to work today. :-(

7:40 am

That is very good news, Mom. I bet he is delighted.

7:40 am

in a way, yes. But I think he would rather stay home. But retirement isn't too far away. Hopefully in 5 years

7:41 am

Something to look forward to, Mom

7:41 am

it is for sure

7:42 am

talk to you soon. Have a great day

7:42 am

you too, (((Mom)))

7:42 am

will do. THanks

7:43 am

Sorry, I was on the phone with one of my vacation buddies.

7:44 am

Yes, Hannah has taken care of my bunnies before and she is reliable.

7:44 am

Then you have nothing to worry about. I am sure you call every day. Go and enjoy!

7:45 am

I will call her daily.

7:46 am

My friend and I just decided to skip lunch and hiking today so we can focus on trip prep today.

7:47 am

Annie, I want to finish the book today so I can start a new one tomorrow on our trip.

7:47 am

scrabbs, have a great great time.

hello all

7:48 am

The weather is supposed to be good, although some chances of rain.

7:48 am

Hi Owl :) :)

7:48 am

Hi Owl!

7:48 am

good morning all

7:48 am

hello hello hello

7:48 am

hello x 4 hurshy

7:49 am

hi teach

7:49 am

we have a copier technician who has had to work on our copier 3 days in a row. he has very strong cologne or aftershave or something.

hey scrabs!

7:50 am

then he leaves his scent wherever he goes...ugh

hey annie

hey hurshy

hey teach

7:50 am

luckily it's not a bad smelling one.

morning folks and how many words today and thanks

7:52 am

144 steve

7:52 am

12 squared!

tanks annie and hurs

and to think it could be the old days and he smelled of mimeograph

7:52 am

ah, mimeograph

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

7:53 am

Hi Hurshy. Yuck--that would make me ill. Hi Steve.

7:53 am

I was wondering what a mimeograph smelled like - and then I remembered. Hello everyone

7:53 am

i don't even remember what it smelled like

7:53 am

hi lynxxxie

hi scrabb

7:54 am

Hi lynxxx. Wasn't it an isopropyl alcohol smell?

7:54 am

just a baby Hursh

7:54 am

alsothe smell of ditto machines

hi lyn!

you mean those jell thingies?

7:54 am

well i remember seeing them in school... prob through high school... i just don't recall the smell.

7:54 am

hi Towl - nice to see you alive and kicking!

nice to see you. if i am here i rarely reveal myself.

7:57 am

well I for one am glad you don't 'reveal' yourself - no nudity allowed here!

:D

7:58 am

Scrab...apparently the iso etc was in the ditto machine but the mimeograph used ink

7:59 am

Purple ink. I remember the freshly created papers--moist and smelly.

I remember those blue fingers

8:00 am

hmm i thought ditto and mimeograph were same

8:00 am

silly me

8:00 am

its funny - google mimeograph and smell and there is a heap of chat about it

purple ink, yes. and the gel things smelled like bananas

8:01 am

well this is a pretty nice grid. got to dreaded 13 no probs, and got all the 7's.

8:01 am

ditto masters - typed on them and purple from second sheet transferred to the front sheet and then put on the machine, mimeograph stencils you typed on and it cut holes for the letters in the stencil that the ink would come through

glad I could contribute to the conversation!

8:04 am

Oh, that's how it worked, wv?

did i miss mom?

8:05 am

yes, owl

now we all can be mimeographologists

8:05 am

have used too many dittos and mimeos in my life to forget them

i found them - hectographs!

8:06 am

i think what i remember seeing is ditto machines then

oh pooh. i have not seen her in ages and wondered how she is doing

8:13 am

Good morning friends

8:13 am

Hi Bob

8:13 am

hi Bob

8:15 am

hi Bob..was out on the terrace watering my flowers

8:20 am

Owl, I am awful at emails but I love to receive them. I have been "off and on" ...okay now.

8:20 am

Owl, I hope you are "on" also. Write and let me know how you are.

that is good. i think it's time for me to be off. the crowd looked sa4 so i wanted to come out.

8:22 am

8:33 am

morning all. clue for the first fe 5/16 pls

8:33 am

same here uncover

8:33 am

Hey, Crossy. I saw an article last night on MSN online that someone has created "glazed donut vodka". I'm holding out for bran muffin vodka myself.

8:34 am

Looks good to me...How about Paynter for second? Am I spelling paynter correctly?

8:34 am

ugh judi,i see many new vodkas,blueberry,butterscotch,watermel lon...no thank you

8:34 am

I am not seeing much in this grid yet. 81 to go.

Hey crossy. :)

8:34 am

howdy neil:)

And Scrabbler, etc.

8:35 am

Hi Neil

i dont' know what the odds were for the derby, ut i could have kicked myself for not betting him

8:35 am

fe5/16----f and what they say in the Army ---At ****.

8:35 am

ty-never heard that word

8:35 am

TY, Annie

8:36 am

Owl, They were good odds. Too bad OTB closed..we always worked out butts off that day but had lots of fun.

you no longer have it? we are expanding the turf clubs here

8:38 am

The state took over Belmont and Aqueduct. They now have racinos at the Belmont. Only slots, no table games yet.

i am opposed to this on many levels.

i don't think poor people should be subsiziding my real estate taxes

8:39 am

Just blacked out the left side. Anyone feel the grid tip?

8:40 am

Owl, Gambling is an awful addiction. If you can afford to gamble, fine but I have seen people gamble to pay their rent. Heartbreaking.

8:41 am

Amen, Annie. It astonishes me that, as bad as our economy is, casinos and gambling in general is expanding at a fair clip. Might as well just flush the money down the toilet.

8:41 am

And lottery tickets = taxes for poor people.

8:42 am

People think the next bet or the next lottery ticket is their way out of "whatever".

8:43 am

and it's a rush just as drugs are. sad.

8:43 am

of course gambling attracts the lower incomes and people who should really not be doing it anyways.is it surprising?? you are going under anyways,so why not take a grab at that brass ring,you never know,you might snag one before the water closes over your head

8:43 am

crossy, never happens.

8:43 am

State sanctioned russian roulette.

8:44 am

of course not annie.what do they thing those casino palaces are built with? not by giving money away

8:45 am

meaningful of nothing, but my wife and I both played one dollar a week in Mass state lottery starting when we were married in like 1970. Sent money to bro in law for 35 years. Never won a nickel

8:45 am

they have one rabbit or carrot to keep the dogs running is all.pop a big winner once a month or so to keep them all running

8:46 am

Last time, I was at Mohegan Sun I won close to a thousand dollars at roulette and walked away. Addicted gamblers cant do that.

8:46 am

lol uncover,thats just over 12,000 you spent on that lottery

8:47 am

Babble is a much healthier addition. Well, mentally healthy anyway.

8:47 am

Owl, the odds for I'll Have Another in the Derby were 15-1. And that was the horse I picked, but didn't bet on. Ouch.

8:48 am

Ouch, Molly

8:48 am

betting on the ponies can be just as deadly as the casinos

8:48 am

It was fun to have picked the winning horse though. : )

8:49 am

Anyone have a clue for the first fe5/16?

8:49 am

The only gambling I do is lottery tickets, and I have won enough to justify that minimal amount. Plus giving me something to dream about once a week.

8:50 am

judi, f and as they say in the Army----At ****.

8:50 am

i also do our lotto 649 at the cost of 3 dollars a week.yes a dream is nice

8:51 am

Ty.

8:55 am

the F in the army that I know isn't printable here

8:55 am

And that's fireworks for me!!

8:55 am

grats! Judi

8:55 am

yaa for judi!!

8:56 am

congrats, Judi!

8:56 am

As in SNAFU, Ruru.

9:01 am

friendly grid

9:01 am

yaa for annie!

9:02 am

anyone want a clue before I start my day?

9:02 am

reading back on poor granny rose and her knee:( too bad she is not over here.there is a wait of 8 months or so,but at least it would get done

9:03 am

Here she would have had the operation by now.

9:03 am

i mean without selling her home:)

9:04 am

So do I.

9:04 am

Her insurance would have paid for it.

9:05 am

all insurance manadatory down there now? everyone has it? i have lost track of it in the last while down there

9:06 am

No, crossy, health insurance is mandatory yet. It is a big fight here.

9:06 am

ahh.heard they were thinking of something kind of like our old o.h.i.p system from 25 years ago

9:06 am

Grannyrose is a nurse..doesnt she have health insurance paid by her employer?

9:06 am

Grannyrose is a nurse..doesnt she have health insurance paid by her employer?

9:07 am

ontario hospital insurance plan*

9:07 am

do not know annie,seems it was a work related injury

9:07 am

Then she should be covered.

What's going on with Rose, crossy? Haven't heard from her in several days.

9:08 am

she seems to need a knee repacement

Yes she does.

But has something happened with that?

9:08 am

but, I guess, covered by insurance or not, you still have to wait in Australia.

She was supposed to be having surgery this month.

9:09 am

guess the fight is on with her version of workers comp

Oh man. :(

9:09 am

That is what I understood.. I thought she was having the operation soon

Yes. Supposed to... so I thought.

9:11 am

oh drat, doorbell, see you all later

9:11 am

tc annie

9:16 am

think i shall totter off and find some tea..back in a fw min

9:45 am

hello

9:45 am

as usual, ruby enters to an empty room...

9:45 am

found a tea,and ready to continue ((ruby))

9:46 am

crossy waves to ruby...

9:46 am

hello ruby

9:47 am

she cannot see us teach:((

9:47 am

crossy the invisible man mwahaha

9:48 am

I saw you both {{big hugs!}}

9:48 am

there she is:))

9:48 am

I think granny is having the surgery on the 25th and her knee replacement is being made to order in the US

9:48 am

ahh very good then,thought there was a concern over work comp

9:48 am

I've just planted a bonzo geranium and I'm leaving little muddy fingerprints all over my keyboard, even though I wore gloves

9:49 am

gonzo*

9:49 am

ahh ruby aka mother earth;)

9:49 am

(with a nasty streak, per crossy!!! lol)

9:50 am

I wish you could see my garden! Although so much rain had made it pretty blowsy, it is glorious!

9:50 am

you? a nasty streak?? non!

9:50 am

hahah

9:50 am

how wonderful to have the colorful garden

9:50 am

this geranium is so beautiful, that I kept it on the deck

9:50 am

would be like having a hobbit that kicks puppies:)

9:51 am

I weighed myself yesterday, for the first time in about a year, and I gained 3 lbs! up to 100. (all muscle from the extra work since husband's been laid up, of course)

9:51 am

while I was planting, Rufie was eating dirt

9:51 am

lol@ 100 pounds.my work boots weigh half that

9:52 am

what do they say about a peck of dirt?

9:53 am

you must have birdie bones

9:53 am

i know with kids they talk about eating dirt and it makes them healthier

9:53 am

no, big-boned like a Russian girl hahah

9:53 am

lol,,not

9:53 am

I hope it works for dogs!

9:54 am

all kids should eat dirt at least once

9:54 am

at least once..... a day .....

9:54 am

when I was in college and running track (not successfully), my mother used to tease me about having thighs like an East German athlete. It must have really stung, because it is MANY years ago

9:54 am

lol

9:55 am

do you remember those women from the 60's on all the steroids? They were scary-looking

9:55 am

my two boys always had pockets full of rocks and dirt - always checked pockets before putting things in wash

9:56 am

lots of noise in the dryer!

9:56 am

i always get the east german or russian girls when i go for PT."hello little man(she tosses me on the table like a sack of grain) vee needs you to lay down UNT you VILL get a massage no?"

9:56 am

always - now my granddaughter brings me the rocks to hold for her "special collection"

9:56 am

raofl!

9:57 am

that is so cute, teach

9:57 am

maybe she'll be a geologist

9:57 am

get her a children's book on minerals; you never know

9:57 am

ergs

9:58 am

get her a rock hammer,she may take your cellar apart:)

9:58 am

sorry

9:58 am

my husband is a geologist - but neither of the boys - b ut maybe she will be - we certainly have enough rocks around the house that he has collected

9:58 am

ty ruby:)

9:58 am

pls don't report me to the hall monitor

9:58 am

we will not tell

9:58 am

there is a rock hammer under the front seat of the car - for my husband

9:59 am

I've been giving my husband fossils and fossil books for years, trying to get him interested, but I find them more interesting than he does

9:59 am

we have many geodes, fossils and misc rocks all around the house, plus my old fossil of a husband (see, nasty ruby)

9:59 am

you need to get him out on a nice shale bed with a knife,a rubber hammer and a screwdriver and let him seperate the layers

10:00 am

that's my dream, crossy, for me, not him

10:00 am

we have our share of fossils

10:00 am

why not find a nice shale bed and plant real good find for him to "stumble" across?

10:01 am

it seems like every road cut in WV has layers of shale - and limestone - and coal - the kids have always enjoyed breaking the shale in to layers

10:01 am

years ago, the only one I ever found was an ammonite from high up in the Southern Alps. It is bigger than my hand and was just lying there, exposed

10:01 am

my son had great fun with it here as well tech

10:02 am

<-- doesn't know if she'd recognize shale if she stumbled on it

10:02 am

my wife found a fly in amber years ago..that was real nice

10:02 am

that is lovely

10:02 am

shale is the dark greyish rock that peels apart in thin layers

10:03 am

indeed ruby..peels apart in sheets

10:03 am

I'll look it up, but don't think there is any in this region

10:03 am

we had one local go down to our shale bed by the water and find an entire 9 inch fish and he was able to get it all.thats the secret.taking time when seperating the layers

10:04 am

that is amazing

10:04 am

he donated it to the royal ontario museum

10:04 am

what I am trying to learn about here is local insect life, very interesting and different

10:05 am

we were at a geology camp in Colorado next to a US national park that is the Florissant Foosil beds and it is mainly fossilized fish

10:05 am

I am green with envy

10:05 am

best i found was an entire leaf

10:06 am

we get a lot of shells and some leaves locally

10:07 am

shells are easy here,sad to say we leave most of them where we find them unless it is a nice big one

10:07 am

i only collected them when i was doing a project for school and wanted to have something for the kids

10:08 am

son once found a oyster fossil,thing was the size of my fist

10:08 am

shells are also the easiest thing here also

10:08 am

oyster,clam,something like that anyways

10:08 am

I'[m sure the stream beds here have fossils, but I'm not in good enough shape any more to look for them :(

10:09 am

nor i ruby,i now take a nap when i bend over to tie my shoes:)

10:09 am

things are a long ways down now

10:09 am

we have a large slab with very large shells in it out on our front porch - it cam from the middle of Kansas where there is obviously no sea life any more - my husband used it to demonstrate geological change

10:09 am

getting dressed is the hardest part of the day!

10:09 am

very nice

10:10 am

that sounds wonderful, teach

10:10 am

the slab is nice,not the getting dressed marathon;)

10:10 am

does he have trouble with Creationists?

10:11 am

or is that a babble taboo subject?

10:11 am

not really - everyone once in a while there might be a student in the beginning class (university) but not really a problem

10:12 am

and I just found ch5, right up his alley

10:13 am

one year in the elementary school where i taught we had a parent who questioned one of the books in the library dating the dinosuars - but she was assured that her son would not be required to read it - it was a library book that students could choose to check out or not

10:13 am

i refrain for discussing politics or religion.but will duscuss food,booze and sex all you wish

10:13 am

and pl for ch6

10:13 am

anti-science people are scary

10:14 am

10:14 am

10:14 am

10:15 am

now back to bacon

10:15 am

10:15 am

lol teach he should tour our far north

10:16 am

I'm afraid to ask what he taught.....

11:01 am

It's shofar

11:01 am

Would not have gotten that on my own

11:02 am

CRAP! I'll Have Another was scratched from Belmont. No Triple Crown winner this year.

time to poach some eggs.... be back later :-)

11:09 am

bummer, Molly!! Why??

11:10 am

No official word yet. Press conference at 1PM. I have to assume an injury. Man it's been a long time since a horse had a shot at The Triple Crown.

11:11 am

That is sad. They do push those horses very hard at a very young age.

11:12 am

I'm wondering if that, plus all the lasix is why we haven't had a Triple Crown winner since 1978.

11:16 am

Interesting article from ABC news yesterday - apparently his trainer is suspected of illegal drug use (for the horses), and his horses show signs of injury at twice the national average.

11:27 am

12:40 pm

12:57 pm

Tor, I wouldn't fight it if I were you. She's got it bad.

12:58 pm

I am as helpless as a sea slug floating along on the kelp ..

1:31 pm

i wanted cool and fizzy and not sweet..pop too sweet..feels nice on throat

1:31 pm

1:32 pm

oh dear...welll pretty sparklies in the road...

1:32 pm

1:33 pm

you could gather it up and make a nifty mosaic something or other for your garden :p

1:33 pm

the problem owning a saab is the turkeys went out of business so finding a mirror is a challenge

1:33 pm

i may do that if i ever get off of hold for my clients tax problem

1:33 pm

hmmmm..sorry i have a kia

1:34 pm

1:35 pm

hey, jmc, is your On The Level initiative off the ground yet? I have people who I think would be interested in supporting it.

1:35 pm

i am...until i go to let the farty dog in

1:35 pm

i think the webcite will be up next week

1:36 pm

i was planning on being at the library today instead of sitting on hold

1:36 pm

ok, cool! Let me know and I can steer a bunch of people to it.

1:36 pm

yay!

1:37 pm

i should mess with my logo so it looks better as an icon

1:38 pm

1:39 pm

rh6/21

1:39 pm

is there an rh?

1:39 pm

that is what i was afraid of ty uu

1:39 pm

that's the only one I have from that r. There's an rh from the upper right r as well.

1:39 pm

so...i am not sure if any of you saw the link i posted in fb called feed my family...

1:39 pm

1:39 pm

1:41 pm

https://www.facebook.com/groups/239422 122837039/

1:41 pm

i refuse to buy bottled water

1:41 pm

most of it comes from the tap anyway

1:42 pm

jmc - other 2 RH words are fro the other R - rh 6/7

1:42 pm

I saw that, carlee, crazy prices (presumably because everything has to be flown in)

1:42 pm

yes..well..please explain how ramen noodles shipped from korea cost us down here .50 and up there 5.00

1:43 pm

yes...well in permafrost jmc....u gotta wait for the water to thaw...

1:43 pm

ty wv

1:43 pm

no fire to melt it?

1:43 pm

its mark up..most of the products are expired

1:44 pm

i think that the airfare for ramen would not explain the difference in price

1:44 pm

shameless

1:44 pm

what wood are you burning....no trees...google images of rankin inlet....1 2x4x8' is 8.00 a piece

1:44 pm

is corporate and govt mark up....huge protest being planned up there tomorrow

1:45 pm

its disgusting

1:45 pm

i see. . . i know that when i am in west texas water is premium . . . no free water to wash windows at the gas station

1:45 pm

good on them to protest

1:45 pm

anyway..if you can post and join the site and repost with your friends...get the word out...

1:45 pm

thanks for passing it on

1:46 pm

cus the communities are so small to start with

1:47 pm

water is premium cus up there when melts is salt water... and apparently smells very fishy... brita does not take out the smell

1:47 pm

how did they get along before this?

1:47 pm

oh really that rh6 is ridiculous . . . nbt

1:47 pm

they were inuit..hunt and fish..igloos... and the cost to fly in was high but not That HIGH

1:48 pm

NOW is just getting redonkulous

1:48 pm

most of what they get s past expiry date

1:48 pm

is just pure greed on part of suppliers

1:51 pm

with bad economy... everyone out to make a buck...only 2 airlines that fly up there...can charge what they want...i know a dozen eggs is 24.00

1:52 pm

can't imagine they sell much at those prices

1:53 pm

nope....gets thrown out

1:54 pm

so what, they pick it up for free and then fly it up on spec hoping someone will buy it? whole thing sounds very shady (never mind completely unethical)

1:54 pm

pretty much

1:55 pm

oh shrek and his buddies in the grid how cute

1:57 pm

ah yes, I found them :-)

2:05 pm

*coming out of lurk mode* Hi there soodle!

hi Soodle !

4:16 pm

Hello Jilly. :-). Using a borrowed laptop, so typos are forecast..... :-(

4:17 pm

good babblers can overlook typos!

hi Jilly :-)

4:17 pm

Thank you. And hi Diane :-)

4:19 pm

*Raises eyebrow* "Borrowed"?

4:21 pm

hello dianedecode! How are you today?

I am very good... catching up on little tasks that have been bugging me.... it feels so good !!

4:23 pm

Hey Molly. Yes, borrowed. With the permission of the lawful owner!

4:23 pm

And how are you soodle? How are things in Ireland?

made grad card for our grandson... birthday card for a friend... registered two new black and decker products (online) ... just about to make a first birthday card for our wee one !

4:24 pm

Good enough, Jilly. If you don't count the recession, the unemployment, and the appalling weather !!!!!

4:24 pm

The Help "borrows" my dear. How far you have fallen. Tsk, tsk.

4:25 pm

Same here in Montana soodle...

4:25 pm

Wee one dianed?

our little great granddaughter will be one year old tomorrow !

4:27 pm

Wow! Congrats!

4:28 pm

A temporary lapse, Molly. And, Diane, how lovely!

have a look at my pics in Facebook when you get a chance.... there's certainly ENOUGH pictures of her !! LOL

4:29 pm

She's such a cutie, Diane. I hope she enjoys her 1st birthday party.

I don't think the weather is going to cooperate... which will keep us from enjoying the outdoors.... so we'll just move indoors !! I made her a dress using a pattern I used for "her" grandma at age one ( 50 years ago. Obviously, I save too many 'THINGS" lol

4:32 pm

well, 39 and need to list....

4:33 pm

Oh Diane, that is such a cute idea.

4:35 pm

So sweet. Good health to all the generations, Diane.

Thanks... I'm trying :-)

4:37 pm

My theory, Dianed, is to leave all my junk for my sons to have to deal with when I'm gone...LOL

4:37 pm

On a completely different note, the smell of cat-pee followed me around all day today. I was getting really anxious, until I sniffed my handbag, and it seems that the wretched beast relieved itself in it last night. The bag is now in the bin, and the cat is lucky it hasn't followed it....

4:38 pm

MY GOD!..just bought my very first home air conditioner...the decadance...the luxury..the superlative coolnesss...mmmmmm

4:38 pm

i am not sweating...how odd...

4:39 pm

this is almost better than bacon..

4:39 pm

LOL soodle...how very awful though...

good for you, Crossy :-)

4:40 pm

Steady on, Crossy.............

4:41 pm

ahhhhhhh:)

4:42 pm

Evenin' folks here and abroad

4:42 pm

so this is how the 1% live...mmmm

4:42 pm

Your cat PEED in your purse??? I am so grossed out by such stories here. Blech.

4:42 pm

howdy bichon

4:43 pm

Process of elimination Molls. My purse smelled of cat-pee, ergo............. And hi Bichon :-)

4:43 pm

Hi bichon

4:44 pm

Cat must have been making a fashion statement soodle!

4:45 pm

<---Does not understand why people have animals that pee on their purses and yack hairballs all over their homes.

4:45 pm

our cats use ;litter boxes only..period.they start peeing outside the box,then i use a cat to scrub the pee stain away

4:45 pm

You should visit my son's house. It reeks of cat elimination. Cat is old. They won't get rid of it and they have two children there

4:45 pm

as for hairballs,they can be anywhere

4:46 pm

Bich, that is so gross. The poor kids.

4:46 pm

brb

4:46 pm

Both parents have PhD's

4:47 pm

And, I have gotten bug bites in their house. Think it's bed bugs

4:47 pm

nothing like a fresh hairball squishing tween yer toes while on the way to the bathroom at 3 am

4:48 pm

Its at times like this that I'm actually grateful that I can't afford Louis Vuitton. The cat is normally extremely well behaved, but he must have been caught short, and my purse was handy. I have learned a valuable lesson!!!!

4:50 pm

and when a cat pukes,it will do its best to get off that scrubbable tile and onto that shag carpet at all costs

4:51 pm

One of our previous Bichons was a puker. But, he reconsumed it. Gross, but tidy

gross conversation....

4:52 pm

yes, let's change the topic

4:54 pm

I think I'll just dish up some dinner for the boy. I seem to have lost my appetite.

I see that lovely "standby " favourite of the 70's is in the grid :-))

meant to say favourite fabric !!

4:54 pm

Mae culpa. Sorry Molls :-(

4:55 pm

Mae Culpa...is she related to Mae West? : P

4:56 pm

She sure is.... Come up and see me some time......!!

4:58 pm

fe 5/16, 1st one, pls

4:58 pm

back to finish

4:59 pm

f+ she is such a t****

4:59 pm

Sorry Bich... not got it.

5:00 pm

tyvm Jilly

5:00 pm

Soodle, you must do a Google image search on pig hats. It will give you some ideas for the pig race.

5:01 pm

yvw bichon

5:02 pm

Hey, great plan Molly. I will. How did Cosdem get on at his hog-roast. Last I heard, he was pondering the great flip-flop/trainers debate.

5:03 pm

Hmm, he never mentioned it. I'll have to ask him next time he's about.

5:03 pm

Trainers = sandals?

5:03 pm

I think he had settled on the 'non-flip-flop' option.

5:04 pm

---->sparkles<----

5:04 pm

Boom, boom, boom for Jilly.

5:04 pm

Trainers... running shoes, nikes, sneakers.

5:05 pm

Woo Hoo Jilly!!!!

5:06 pm

pretty easy grid today...here to clue

5:06 pm

I'm done. Dunna need any clues lass.

5:08 pm

Your clue for the fe @ 4.49, Jilly. Could you be a little bit more specific?

5:08 pm

panic time..son forgot the school prom was tonight..start an hour ago

5:09 pm

20 min drive to prom..frantic panic to find his dress shoes and tie for a 20 min drive to prom

5:10 pm

The prom is at 4 in the afternoon??

5:10 pm

Yikes. We don't have proms here, but I've seen enought movies to know its a pretty important night for kids. And your guy forgot??????

5:10 pm

he gorgot...AND THE GIRL IS WAITING!!!

5:10 pm

He knows how to impress a girl

5:11 pm

must have been the bacon. :-)

5:11 pm

Hey Lynn :-)

5:12 pm

morning Soodle

5:12 pm

Quite the tale crossy....

5:12 pm

yipes...phone...bbl

5:15 pm

We don't have Proms here. Our equivalent is the 'Debs'. And theres so much hype about it, that whatever else happens, the kids don't forget it. There are loads of horror stories about wardrobe malfunctions, unknown addresses, over indulgence in drink, but I never heard of a kid forgetting.....

5:16 pm

Yes Jilly, quite the tale.

5:17 pm

There is a lot of hype for proms too. Weeks of planning go into them. Dinner, what to wear, after Prom.

5:21 pm

I've always been glad I had boys when Prom time rolled around. Renting a tux was so much easier than putting up with the dress shopping thing.

5:25 pm

After weeks of careful selection (!) I invited a lad called Gerry to my Debs. He duly arrived, suited and booted, bearing the regulation orchid and chocs. My dad answered the door, and said Hi. You must be Bryan. The evening went downhill from there.....

5:26 pm

Oh wow, you gotta love Dads, right? : )

5:27 pm

LOL Molly. Absolutely...

5:28 pm

I love the stories about what fathers do when their daughters dates arrive.

5:35 pm

I could write a book Molly! Specially about the days before cell phones, when the only way a guy could make contact was on the house phone....

5:36 pm

BBL

5:40 pm

First time a guy called me, my younger brother answered the phone. He let a roar out of him....Mary. There's a BOY on the phone for you. The whole family gathered round for a listen.....

5:42 pm

It was like something off Waltons Mountain........

5:45 pm

hi again all! I am old enough that I don't remember my proms very well (although I do remember going with Frank - we were so young back then!)

5:45 pm

Hello

5:45 pm

hi soodle!

5:46 pm

Sorry Sue... that Hello was for you!!

5:46 pm

I figured :-)

5:46 pm

there!! whew!! boy has some explaining to do to his lady! got him to his prom 1 hour and 20 min late and she was standing there waiting!

5:47 pm

glad it is not me!!!

5:47 pm

Just wandering down Memory Lane.....

5:47 pm

egads, crossy!! Well, they will remember it for sure!!

5:48 pm

diner was served 15 min before...

5:48 pm

well at least he has the dancing till 10:30

5:48 pm

oh dear :-(

5:49 pm

indeed.mrs and i kept asking him how he could forget lol

5:50 pm

hopefully the girl won't be *too* cross with him

5:50 pm

time for me to say toodle-oo. Good night everybody. Thanks for the wonderful company

5:50 pm

lucky thing his good clothes were all haning and pressed in the closet from his last doo

5:50 pm

lol,thats his problem;)) all part of the training hehe

5:51 pm

night, soodle!

5:51 pm

gn soodles

5:53 pm

my god..dad needs a drink,,nerves are shot,but the dance was out at the mountain at the ski club and his lordship will need a ride home later..iced tea for crossy

5:53 pm

you must be pretty frazzled!

5:54 pm

find the tie,hunt down the dress shoes,hit a flower shop on the way,pray for a half decent corsage

5:55 pm

he had better be properly grateful!!

5:55 pm

not knowing the colour of her dress for corsage selection...

5:55 pm

kids owes me big

6:01 pm

oh dear, cross-boy in deep manure pile... but we've all been there, right? hope the kid survives and has a good time!

6:10 pm

I hope you're okay, cross -- we have made similar "rescues" occasionally, and it's usually more nerve-wracking for us than them. They assume we can make it happen, we just hope we come close.

7:24 pm

knock knock.. anyone home?

7:39 pm

does anyone have the first fe6?

7:39 pm

don't have a single p

7:39 pm

Too funny Robin... and hi. :)

Are plumbers banned from your house?

11:31 pm

Mostly.

Plumbers, electricians, anyone like that... men with heavy toolbelts. :P

I'd better be careful myself... I'm getting handier lately. See today's updates.

11:32 pm

Only if they can keep them where they belong!

Yeah. That's not something anyone should have to see.

11:35 pm

Get the dent out of her car? I should check your profile more often!

11:36 pm

That one pic of you with a raised eyebrow gets me every time I see it. lol

11:36 pm

Okay...8 left for sh/.

Yep, pretty much.

It "gets" you?

11:38 pm

Makes me smile.

Ha.

Have you joined all the other Babblers on Goodreads yet, btw?

11:40 pm

Tells me a good soul is in you...and a prankster. No. Not heard of Goodreads.

Well I'm 100% certain about the latter anyway. :P

No? Oh it's a great site... if you enjoy books?

11:40 pm

Hehe.

Send an email to the address I have on profile if you want an invitation to join.

There's a Babblers' group on there.

I thought about it because I'm looking around on there now.

11:42 pm

Yes plz.

11:44 pm

2nd one

11:45 pm

hey neil. getting your hands dirty? wtg, on working on the car. some guys just never get the way of it

There are 3: self-esteems, er + opp. of "stop" and almost the previous word but with a plural consonant on the end instead.

Hope that's helpful?

And hi Rose! :)

11:45 pm

hi robin

Hey, you saw the photo?

Well my dad's a good mechanic and he's taught me a few things here and there.

11:46 pm

neil, starting to get the jitters here, only 16 days to go.

And why wouldn't I be getting my hands dirty?

Aww. You'll be fine Rose!

And much better once you heal from that.

11:46 pm

Hi there, granny

It should give you a lot of relief.

11:48 pm

like i said, some guys just don't go there. my josh is 26 and an apptentice panel beater, nearly finished his time. he loves it, and so does my simon, son #2, he loves tinkering with his car. but daniel, numero uno, omg, he would rather die.

Haha. The latter one sounds like my brother. :P

11:49 pm

really strange, since their father spent most of his spare time under, in, on top of his car/s

Ha. Well not all kids turn out like their parents.

11:50 pm

don't think i'll go there, neil, never know which of my sons might be eavesdropping. lol

lol :P

11:50 pm

Sounds like my eldest son, 27. Would rather take a week off of his VERY good paying job to play Mass Affect 3 video game when it came out than work. No lifting or manual labor for him. My youngest is 26 and would do about anything. Works for Verizon.

11:51 pm

anyway, my bag is nearly completely packed. am in the process of sorting out suitable clothing for rehab.

That's my age too, Robin.

11:52 pm

so, robin, nothing new under the sun, then?

11:52 pm

You remind me of my son Ty, Neil.

27 I mean. My 27th birthday was back on this last December 29th.

I do? You don't know much about me yet.

11:53 pm

ooohhhhh, AND the tiling is almost finished, just the grouting to.....then the new shower will be put up, and i will be able to have a shower in my OWN bathroom again.

11:53 pm

Nah, Rose. Getting older stinks, gravity can go suck an egg and I'm having an adult beverage to keep me from thinking about it.

11:54 pm

lol, robin, have to wait another 2 hours before the sun is over the yardarm, here

When do you go into hospital, Rose?

Oh Rose, I have something fun to show you.

I'll send a quick email with that in.

11:54 pm

25th june, neil.

11:55 pm

My ex-hubby, current significan other (complicated) just did his shower on his own. If he had his way, he'd have used duct tape for the whole thing.

11:56 pm

Rose, I'm sorry. Didn't know you are going to the hospital. I hope and pray all will be fine.

11:56 pm

and robin, have you noticed that each year someone moves the floor further away? very frustrating!

Wow Robin. He's been watching too much Red Green.

11:56 pm

Yes!!! I thought it was just me!

11:57 pm

robin, all good. have known since april 2011 that i needed a total knee replacement. just waiting until i had enough paid time off accrued.

11:57 pm

LOL, Red Green. Yes - that and Myth Busters.

11:58 pm
